PUNY CHILDREN,
Parent* Should Know How to Kop Chil
dflfi Veil—Expert Advice by
a Fargo Druggist,
"We do not wish to blame anyof oar
fiends for that which they cannot help,
but sometimes when we see delicate
and puny children, we cannot help feel
ing that parents are neglectful," said
Mr. Porterfield of the firm of Fout &
Porterfield during a recent interview.
"If we could only make all fathers
and mothers in Fargo regard what we
say, especially if their little ones are
delicate, how glad they would be after
ward. They can make their children
strong and well. They can lay a foun
dation stone in their little lives that
will give them joy and happiness in
years to come and they will become
strong and hearty men an women, if
they will only believe what we say
about Vinol and follow our advice."
Remember Vinol contains all the ac
tive curative principles taken directly
from fresh cod's livers without grease
or oil, and its taste is dclicious, and
that is what gives it such power to as
sist the stomach of the little ones to
properly assimilate the food which they
eat. It is the means by which rich, red
blood is made strong bone structure is
built hard, firm, flesh tissue is created,
and healthy, sound nerves maintained.
Mrs. Jennie Perse, 169 Newman St.,
Mansfield, O., says:
"I wish to add a few words of praise
for Vinol. My little boy was very much
run down, so much so that he had to
leave school. He really was a mere
shadow. I decided to give him Vinol,
and he is rapidly gaining flesh. I wish
to recommend Vinol to everv mother
who has puny, ailing children."
Not only for children but for adults
do we recommend Vinol as the greatest
strength creator and rebuilder of health,
without reservation, and stand prepar
ed to refund all money to those who do
not find absolute satisfaction in its use.

CARIETON ON MACARONI.
CereaOst Cnktos Thinks the Price of Macaroni
Wheat Has Kept Up Well,
Sioux'Falls Argus-Leadi^ ^of. E.
C. Chilcott of the faculty of the South
Dakota Agricultural College has re
ceived fr6m M. A. Carleton, cercalist
in the bureau of plant industry in the
United States department of agricul
ture, an article of considerable impor
tance bearing on the present market
facilities of macaroni wheat. Knowing
that the subject is one in which the
farmers of nearly all parts of the north
west are interested Professor Chilcott
kindly places The Argus-Leader in pos
session of the article for publication a*d
it is herewith produced.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 15. 1903.—
Prof. E. C. Chilsott, Brookings, S. D.
—Dear Professor Chilcott: You have
probably already seen my article in
The Northwestern Miller, correcting a
number of errors rather widely dissemi
nated recently conccrning the macaroni
wheat situation. I hope this will be of
use to those interested in the industry
in the northwest. There are a number
of ottfer things I have learned since
writing the article that are fully of as
much importance. I should like very
much if you would help us to make it
understood among the farmers in the
Dakotas that they are not being nearly
so badly treated in the matter of prices
for macaroni wheat as they have im
agined. I have looked into the matter
very thoroughly recently, testing the
prices of various wheats on an export
basis, and find that the macaroni wheat
never has sold in Minneapolis and Du
luth at a price that would be more than
about 10 cents on the outside below
No. 1 Northern, calculating prices on
an export basis. The price of No. 1
Northern, particularly in Minneapolis,
it is well-known to all grain handlers,
has been simply an inflated figure, as
much as 10 cents or more above the
normal, that is, above what it could
possibly be sold at if exported to Eu
rope. The reason is simply this that
there has been such an unusual demand
at the mills on account of the scarcity
of the grain. Macaroni wheat, on the
other hand, is being sold on an export
basis. Besides, any new crop must be
understood to bring a price consider
ably lower than the standard crops un
til it becomes thoroughly familiar to
the dealer and consumer. Under these
circumstances I think the price of mac
aroni wheat has held up remarkably
well in fact, the farmers would be jus
tified in taking even a lower price than
they are now getting, and if we were to
export much of the wheat this would
really have to be done because the pres
ent price in Duluth will admit of very
little export at present in face of the
unusually low foreign prices. This is
principally due to the very large pro
duction of Russian wheat this year, a
good part of which, you know, is mac
aroni wheat, and Russian production
controls the world's prices for maca
roni wheat at present. Besides all this
it should be kept in mind always that
the macaroni wheat has no compari
son with other wheats as to price. It
is an entirely independent crop, stand
ing upon its own merits as to supply
and demand for the price it may bring.
Hence, if the ordinary wheat goes up
8 to 10 cents it does not follow by any
means that the price of macaroni wheat
should advance proportionately. On
the other hand, prices in Marseilles,
France, show that macaroni wheat may
increase in price when other wheat will
remain the same or even decrease in
price.
Another consideration of importance
is that the present year's crop, so far
as I haVe seen samples of it, is a very
inferior one. This is unfortunate and,
of course, is not the fault of anything
but the weather in fact, as I see the
whole situation, this is the only dis
couraging feature in the prospects of
this wheat, as we shall this year make
our first export shipments and our rep
utation in forergn markets will have to
be made largely with this year's crop.
Aside from this one feature, the situa
tion on the whole, to me is very en
couraging. No. 2 macaroni was bring
ing 67 cents in Duluth on Oct. 5, while
No. 2 northern was selling at 75 cents,
a difference of 8 cents. There was a
very small amount of No. 1, either of
macaroni or Northern, coming in at
that'time, in fact the entire crop is in
bad condition because of the recent
rains.
Another fact of interest may be cited
showing that prices cannot be consid
ered comparatively. On Oct. 1, al
though macaroni wheat was selling at
8 to io cents under Northern spring,
Kansas Turkey wheat was bringing 77
cents in Galveston, and the macaroni
was selling at 77V2 cents in New York,
so that at the seaboard macaroni was
bringing V2 cent more per bushel than
the now famous Turkey, one of the
popular wheats of the country and the
freight charges to Galveston from Kan
sas are probably not very much more
than those from South Dakota to New
York, going by way of the lakes. Very
truly ydnrs. M. A. Carleton,
Ce realist.
AGITATING DIVISION.
The Flickertail Flicker, published in
the east end of McLean County is agi
tating as follows :4 "The division of this
county is one of the questions which
is receiving consideration by the citizens
of this heck of the woods. A mass con
ventiop will be called in the near future
to determine the action to be taken. It
is' to ttfiTinterest of every taxpayer in
this end of the county to be present at
this meeting for on. this meeting depends
the question as to whether the county
will be divided before the coming elec
tion of not. McLean County is certainly
large eopugh to stand a division.

Editor Claude King of Sports Afield Writes «i
a Pleasant Trip Through North Dakota.
Glendive is the next important top
after leaving Miles City. It is in the
midst of a fine hunting field, including
grouse, ducks and rifle game. Then
comes Medora in the center of thp
famous Bad Lands. North of the train
is seen the abattoir, built by the, ver-^
satile Marquis de Mores (with the $ea.
of revolutionizing the cattle business
as at present conducted). South of us
on a gentle eminence, we note the pic
turesque resid&ice where the mair!lj#i%
and his wife'were wont,,to give lavish
entertainments.
Our next stop is Mandan, on the
west bank of the Missouri—a thriving
city with a fine future before it South
of Mandan a ways is Standing Rock
Indian agency, while to the north is:
the Fort Berthold reservation. Al
though bitter enemies in the long ago,?
the Sioux of Standing Rock agency
and the Mandans, Rees and Grosven-,
tred o Fort Berthold now visit back
and forth every year—hundreds of
Sioux families passing through Man
dan and Bismarck, on their way northr
to Fort Berthold, during the time of
our visit. The Mandans have always
been of a rather gentle nature—at least
when compared with the Sioux—and
during the winter of 1804-05 treated the
explorers Lewis and Clark with genu
ine kindness. At Mandan is the home
and workshop of J. D. Allen, one of
the most talented of taxidermists and a
man whose knowledge of Indian folk
lore is as thorough as it is entertain
ing. We found Mr. Allen at work in
his atelier, surrounded by game heads
of all sorts after which he showed u3
through two large upper floors fairly
crowded with all sorts of mounted bird
life as well as the four-footed denizens
of mountain and prairie. His collec
tion of goods of original Indian man
ufacture is, it seems to me, the best in
the northwest.
The bottomlands on both sides of the
Missouri are covered with a dense |T»
growth of bushes and small trees, af
fording fine feeding groundd for the
white tailed deer, which are very
abundant hereabouts—several having
been shot last winter almost within
the city limits of Mandan. The state
acted wisely in shortening the open
season for deer to but twenty days
(Nov. 10 to Dec. 1) and in limiting each
hunter's bag to a total of five. Though
it is not generally known, the sports
men of Mandan and Bismarck have as
fine deer shooting as is to be enjoyed
anywhere.
This country abounds in Indian
stories—one of the best I eV^r heard
being C. F. Ellis' account of the death
of Sitting Bull, who was shot, simul
taneously by Red Bull and Red Toma
hawk, while the two latter were serv-'
ing as Indian police. Red Bull, was
killed the very next instant, but,-Red
Tomahawk yet lives to tell the tale,
and, as Mr. Ellis has gone on several
hunting trips with him, he was able to
secure a vivid mental photograph of the
old chief's arrest and the resultant
scrimmage—a picture which„ we trust
he will unroll for the benefit of the en
tire Sports Afield family.
On our arrival at Bismarck, we
found the hotel lobby overflowing with
hunters' paraphernalia and the porter's
quarters a minature bench-show with
its group of pointers, setters and re
trievers. Some fifteen miles out, the
sharp-tail grouse are abundant, in cov
eys of ten to twenty birds each—be
ing usually found in cornfields and
among the tree cjaims and brush
patches. Owing to the very dry
weather during the hatching period,
the bird% are more abundant this sea
son than for many years past. In the
vicinity of Napoleon and Kidder, to the
north of Bismarck, are a great many
lakes that afford the finest sort of duck
shooting, and the same holds true of,
the shallow waters of Long Lake—
thirty-five miles east, on the Soo Line.
Riding east from Bismarck, we pass1
Sterling, Steele and Dawson—lying in
the midst of the famous wild-fowl reg
ion. From the car windows are to be
seen long chains of prairie lakes with
countless multitudes of ducks flying
around, feeding and resting.
On the morning after our arrival in
Jamestown, looking from the windows
of the comfortable Gladstone Hotel,
one is impressed with the^ fact that he
•is in prairies-chicken land at last by the
number of hunting dpgs^in the streets.1
Leaving the buggy in tfbnt of a store'
while I interviewed tfile ^proprietor,
lithe-limbed -pointer j«qj^4 into, it and
occupied the vacint seat at Mrs. King's
side imtil --f '-returned—plainly inviting
us to take him hunting. 4
JamestoWn is located in the midst of
a great wheat country, its future is a'^
bright one, and the shooting man'1
whose lines are cast here is certainly
fortunate,.
South of Jamestown a few miles, and
overlooking a scene of rare agricultural!
beauty, is the North Dakota Asylum^
for the insane, under the direction of
the distinguished alienist, Dr. Dwight
S. Moore. The doctor kindly showed,
us through the many buildings with
theiff well arranged wards and donvfrcfih
it is no flattery to say that the
ijMfify cabin in a |E«Mh"ip of the line11
ii tktt kept more scrdowoitsly clean anitf
bright.

v
Hqrtj, in the valley of the little, Mis
souri River, which goes brawling and'
dancing past Medora, President Rdosc
velt lived, if I am not mistaken/^tMl
very happiest days of his life.
At Dickinson (our first stop in
North Dakota) Sports Afield has so
many friends thvt our visit partook
somewhat of the nature of a home4
coming at "the old homestead. Sports-?
men here have good use for both shot*,
gun and rifle—the sharp-tailed grouse
being abundant hereabouts and at'
Gladstone, a few miles further east
while good deer shooting is to be had
in the Bad Lands country,, some thirty
miles to the westward. In the court
house at Dickinson I met a veteran pf
the civil war in the person of one of
the county officials. He had charged
with Pickett up the slope to the bloody
angle at Gettysburg, and mpst inter-.,
esting was it to hear him tell "of the:
brave days when 1 was 21."
Then coinfes Fargo—a veritable me
tropolis and one of the most delightful
residence cities in the entire northwest.
Even in the short few years since our
last visit, it has grown wonderfully—a
-most pleasing addition for the travel-'
ing public being the new Hotel Wal
dorf. Every afternoon we took long
'rides along the Red River of the North
and out through the great state agri
cultural farm, where experiments of
real value to the northwest farmer are
distantly being worked out. The
rearby city of Moorhead is also visited,
and then we once again journey east
ward, through the beautiful lake park
region of Minnesota, until Brainerd, 011
the upper Mississippi is reached.
